Everything Is Taken From Us

Across the river above the hills,
hawk circles for the kills.
His eyes are keen, his talons strong,
when he strikes he’s seldom wrong.
The dice are loaded honey we can’t win,
when that shadow comes dropping in,
it’s not virtue, it’s not sin,
it’s just a matter of when.
Everything is taken from us,
everything is taken from us,
everything is taken from us.
Come on baby say what you mean,
we both know love’s no vaccine.
We said the words all lovers say,
but now we just don’t feel that way.
As you stare into to my face,
another’s gonna fill that space,
and that face in turn shall fade,
don’t be sorry honey it’s okay.
Everything is taken from us,
everything is taken from us,
everything is taken from us.
Love is the flesh torn by thirst,
each kiss drives in a hurt,
it gets better as it gets worse,
someone just blow out the sun.
Everything is taken from us,
everything is taken from us,
everything is taken from us.
